installation help, please

[Andreas Freyvogel]

I was able to find a solution through one of the newsgroups. I had to alter
cyradm from:

exec Perl -MCyrus::IMAP::Shell -e shell -- "$@"
to:
exec Perl -I/usr/imap/lib/perl5/site_perl -MCyrus::IMAP::Shell -e

Now cyradm seems to be working, yet no luck for logging in.


I am trying: cyradm --user cyrus --server localhost --auth plain

I do get a challenge for my SASL2 password. This is to no avail as I see in
the log:

"Badlogin: PLAIN [SASL-(4) no mechanism available, security flags do not
match required]
 Perl: no worthy mechs found."



Again, any (ANY) ideas are greatly appreciated at this point.

Thanks,
-Andreas

I have followed the instructions and each process is up and listening. I
however am unable to test Cyrus with cyradm because it comes up with Can't
Locate Cyrus/IMAP/Shell.pm in @INC.

Even if I try and move, symlink these files to the path nothing works. Am I
supposed to do anything additional for Perl?

This is truly driving me nuts. Any ideas??

I recomend you to build and install the packages that our friend Simon
Matter maintains at:

http://home.teleport.ch/simix/

There are lots of Howtos on the net than can assist you.For example:
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_single/Postfi
x-Cyrus-Web-cyradm-HOWTO.html

Hope this help you.

Regards
